Description

This class controls DAQ (Data AcQuisition) system.

It enables acquisition of data on target in non-blocking mode, but time precision is not as exact as with batch access, which is a blocking call.

Call methods in the following sequence:

attachHW()
info()
configure()
enableGlobal(True)  // starts reading vars and placing them in DAQ buffer
[status(),] read()  // repeat
enableGlobal(False) // stops reading vars, but DAQ buffer may contain yet unread data
[status(),] Read,   // repeat until done
detachHW()

Python example: test_attach_detach.py
Python example: daq_simple.py

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ EDAQSamplingFlags

enum isys::CDAQController::EDAQSamplingFlags

This enum defines sampling time constants.

Enumerator
daqSampleMax	maximum sampling
daqSample1ms	1ms sampling resolution
daqSample10ms	10ms sampling resolution
daqSample100ms	100ms sampling resolution
daqSample1s	1 s sampling resolution

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CDAQController()

isys::CDAQController::CDAQController ( std::shared_ptr< ConnectionMgr > connectionMgr )

Instantiates object.

Parameters

connectionMgr class which maintains connection to winIDEA. Connection must be established before this call.

Python example: test_attach_detach.py Python example: daq_simple.py

Member Function Documentation

◆ attachHW()

void isys::CDAQController::attachHW ( )

Deprecated:: this call is no longer required, it does nothing.

◆ configAdd() [1/2]

DWORD isys::CDAQController::configAdd	(	BYTE	size,
		BYTE	memArea,
		ADDRESS	address,
		EDAQSamplingFlags	sampling = `daqSampleMax`
	)

Deprecated:: in 9.21.2, use method configure().

Adds a DAQ item to configuration.

Parameters

size	size of the item in bytes
memArea	memory area of the item
address	address of the item
sampling	sampling policy

Returns: the handle/index of the item. This value will be reported in the acquired samples.

Python example: data_recorder_with_daq.py

◆ configAdd() [2/2]

DWORD isys::CDAQController::configAdd	(	const std::string &	symbol,
		EDAQSamplingFlags	sampling = `daqSampleMax`
	)

Deprecated:: in 9.21.2, use method configure().

Adds a DAQ item to configuration.

Parameters

symbol	name of the variable to monitor
sampling	sampling policy

Returns: the handle/index of the item. This value will be reported in the acquired samples.

◆ configReset()

void isys::CDAQController::configReset ( )

Deprecated:: in 9.21.2 and later. If you are still using the deprecated configAdd() methods, call this method to clear all added samples.

Resets DAQ configuration.

Python example: data_recorder_with_daq.py

◆ configure()

void isys::CDAQController::configure ( const std::vector< CDAQConfigItem > & configItems )

Configures DAQ with the given items.

It is not allowed to call configure() when DAQ is enabled (after enableGlobal(true) was called and before enableGlobal(false) was called.)

See also: CDAQConfigItem

Python example: test_daq_configure.py

◆ detachHW()

void isys::CDAQController::detachHW ( )

Deprecated:: this call is no longer required, it does nothing.

◆ enableCore()

void isys::CDAQController::enableCore ( bool enable )

Deprecated:: in 9.21.2 and later this method has no effect. You may remove it from your code.

Enables or disables DAQ acquisition on this particular core. This has to be enabled so that data can be acquired through the DAQ on this particular core.

Parameters

enable defines whether DAQ on the controlled core is enabled or not

Python example: data_recorder_with_daq.py

◆ enableGlobal()

void isys::CDAQController::enableGlobal ( bool enable )

Enables or disables DAQ acquisition.

This has to be enabled so that data can be acquired through the DAQ on any core. Call it after configure() or configAdd() calls.

Parameters

enable defines whether the global DAQ is enabled or not

Python example: test_attach_detach.py

◆ getDataValue()

isys::CValueType isys::CDAQController::getDataValue ( const CDAQSample & sample ) const

Returns the value of the acquired sample in CValueType format.

If sample configuration was given as address and size (not with symbol name), then unsigned integral type is assumed.

Parameters

sample previously acquired sample.

Returns: value in CValueType format

Python example: test_run.py

◆ getNumItems()

size_t isys::CDAQController::getNumItems ( )

Returns: currently configured number of DAQ items

Python example: test_daq_configure.py

◆ info()

CDAQInfo isys::CDAQController::info ( )

Returns the information about DAQ capabilities.

Python example: test_run.py

◆ read()

void isys::CDAQController::read	(	std::vector< CDAQSample > &	samples,
		DWORD	maxSamples = `0`
	)

Reads acquired data.

Parameters

samples	vector where samples will be read to
maxSamples	defines the maximum number of samples to read. If 0 is specified, all current acquired samples will be loaded. Not used in SDK versions 9.21.2 and later.

Returns: the acquired DAQ samples.

Python example: test_run.py

◆ status()

CDAQStatus isys::CDAQController::status ( )

Returns the current status of the DAQ system.

Python example: test_run.py
